Title: Spraying aroma in containers
Inventor: CARNS LAWRENCE G
IPC: A23L27/00
Filed: 1995-10-12
Granted: 1999-03-11
Abstract: A process for providing aroma in a container for a product such as instant coffee. Empty, open-topped containers are conveyed one after the other to beneath an aroma spraying station which contains at least one spraying nozzle. Once an open-topped container is positioned substantially beneath a spraying nozzle, the spraying nozzle is activated and aroma is dispensed into the open top of the container while the open-topped container continues to be conveyed. The aroma is dispensed in the form of fine droplets to coat the inner side walls of the open-topped container. The spraying is then discontinued while the open-topped container is still beneath the spraying nozzle. The container may then be transferred to a filling station where product may be filled into the container. In this way, aroma may be incorporated into a product at production rates of 200 to 500 containers per minute.

Inventor: KAYLOR ROSANN M
IPC: C40B60/14
Filed: 2000-12-12
Granted: 2005-01-13
Abstract: The present invention provides an inexpensive and sensitive system and method for detecting analytes present in a medium. The system comprises a diffraction enhancing element, such as functionalized microspheres, which are modified such that they are capable of binding with a target analyte. Additionally, the system comprises a polymer film, which may include a metal coating, upon which is printed a specific, predetermined pattern of a analyte-specific receptors. Finally, the system includes a wicking agent which permits the system to be a single step system which avoids the necessity of any additional rinsing steps. Upon attachment of a target analyte to select areas of the polymer film, either directly or with the diffraction enhancing element, diffraction of transmitted and/or reflected light occurs via the physical dimensions and defined, precise placement of the analyte. A diffraction image, such as a hologram, is produced which can be easily seen with the eye or, optionally, with a sensing device.
